Here's the thing, I've been cooking more and more and I'm pretty good; the problem is I can only go out to restaurants that cook better than I do, therefore, it's expensive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
I would suggest that if you get in your kitchen and cook for yourself, you can eat like kings for a very low cost.
You don't come into cooking to get rich.
I don't get to cook in my own restaurant.
I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.
To me, you make a tradeoff. It might be a little bit more expensive. But you're getting a better tasting, higher quality food that's going to be better for your health and better for the environment.
When you don't have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you're doing meaningful work.
We all need to know how to cook. I can buy a chicken and have many meals come from it. Is it affordable? Yes. Cheap? No. I want to pay the farmers the right price for food. They deserve it. They are the most important people in the country besides our teachers.
My wife and I decided to try and kick start our kitchens to a $15 minimum wage for cooks. I've probably had to go through and raise every menu price now by 50 cents because it took away my profit. I just underestimated what it was going to cost.
Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.
